Relentless Bullying

What is bullying? Bullying is everywhere. It is a horrible activity that destroys people’s happiness and life. Bullying is very negative and creates major problems for our society. Nothing good comes out of bullying. In fact, it ruins many people’s lives. Kids can be mentally scarred if they are teased often. Even worse, they can be killed or fatally injured if the bullying gets extreme. Bullying must be stopped or prevented no matter how long it will take; it is a deeply concerning matter. Bullying does not always have to be childish play, but it can be extremely violent. People may be bruised, injured, or even killed. There are so many different kinds of bullying. Bullying takes place in school where the victims of bullying easily get teased by their school friends. They get treated differently comparing with the other normal students. In Bird Girl, the article is in the book that we are reading in English class, there was a weird high school girl that was teased by some suburban-variety greasers. They called her the Bird. She had peal skin, and a blotchy red rash was usually in the middle of her forehead. Especially why they always teased her because she was always nervous, moving like a bird and hunching her shoulders toward her ears just like she wanted her head would be disappeared into her body. She always wore the old fashion clothes that were described as the fashion “since Shirley Temple was singing The Good Ship Lollipop.” One day, three or four greasers surrounded her flapping and screeching in her ear. She got terrified, and some of her books fell on the ground; she bent down to pick them up, but all the greasers got closer in a circle and screeched at her. The Bird girl was one of the victims that were teased by the other students. Differences between skin colors, the way wearing clothes, or characteristic of each individual also comes up with different treated...

Every child has the right to ride a bus, use a restroom, participate in classes, walk the hallways, eat their lunches, and walk home after school in a “safe” environment. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working in schools with children who stutter may have victims of bullying on their caseloads. These student-victims may feel most comfortable turning to SLPs for help during one-on-one treatment sessions to discuss these types of experiences.
Bullying is a form of aggression with three primary features: a) intent to do harm, b) repetition of the bullying behavior, and c) a power imbalance between the bully and his or her victim (Olweus, 1993). Bullying is an epidemic in our schools, creating negative and damaging effects on students’ academic achievement, self-esteem, physical health, and social relationships. The research clearly shows that it leads to increased anxiety, depression, alienation, long-term negative consequences and in severe cases suicidal thoughts and actions (Arseneault, Bowes, & Shakoor, 2010).
There are four main characters in this cycle of aggression: 1) bullies, 2) victims, 3) bully-victims and 4) bystanders. It would be great if everyone wore labels, but they don’t. Bullies are not only the “bigger kids” using foul language with internalizing and externalizing problems who are academically challenged. They are the popular girls, the class leaders,...

What causes bullying?

Why do people bully others? What causes this to happen? Bullying can mean different things and can have different meanings to people (Why do people bully? 2013). Some might define bullying as purposeful attempts to control another person through verbal abuse (Why do people bully? 2013). Bullying in my opinion happens when the kids or adults have little self-esteem, has home problems or school problems that they do not know how to face and uses it against others.
Verbal abuse can be with a certain tone of voice or in content such as teasing or threats/ exclusion (Why do people bully? 2013). In many cases physical bullying and/or violence can occur which the victim may not want (Why do people bully? 2013).
Some will use single instances and age difference in their definition of bullying (Why do people bully? 2013). Bullying happens everywhere, at work, home, school, church. Bullying is the most common type of violence in contemporary US society (Why do people bully? 2013). Even though bullying is a form of harassment, it is considered to be a separate category from sexual harassment (Why do people bully? 2013).

...Bullying in its truest form is comprised of a series of repeated intentionally cruel incidents, involving the same children in the same bully and victim roles. It differs from harassment and discrimination in that the focus is rarely based on gender, race, or disability. Children bully because of abuse at home, feelings, and inferiority. The consequences and effects of bullying are that the bullies suffer mentally in future, commit suicide, or suffer from depression. The solutions of bullying are to get together, talk about it, and educate people.
Children bully because they are abused at home, to achieve popularity, they are in need of money to fulfill their wishes and desires, they are hungry and they need to eat at drink because they don’t get fed at home, they are coping with a serious family situation, they have learned violence at home, they have displaced anger, they feel powerless and out of control, and they lack self esteem. People may bully because they are jealous of someone and they may not know how it makes other people feel and the person who is bullying may be bullied him or herself too.

...campus; so I began to suffer in school. Any joy I had inside me died and the excitement I once had for school fizzled away. I used to beg my grandmother every morning to let me stay home, because I was too emotionally distraught to begin my day. I informed my grandmother, teachers, and administration of the bullying. The school failed to handle the situation properly, resulting in more bullying. Therefore, my grandmother filed a police report of all the incidents. However, these actions never stopped the villainous group.
Luckily, in the beginning of my fourth grade year, I moved. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I realized that my bullies were suffering inside. I discovered that many of them developed in unsafe environments and were filled with rage and hatred. The abuse and pain they faced at home bonded them, but also caused them to expel their hurt onto others. It took a bit of time, but I forgave them, and prayed that they would find joy in their life. Fortunately, I can say that that harrowing experience molded me into the strong, outspoken woman I am today, and will continue to be in the future. Research has indicated that many victims of bullying may become victims in adulthood. I can proudly say that I am no longer a victim, and will never allow myself to succumb to that type of treatment. That experience taught me how to face my fears, and voice my thoughts and opinions. I learned how to become...

...“Bullying-within the school systems”
Bullying continues to be a persistent problem in schools today, but with students, parents, administrators and teachers working together, we can hope to attempt to decrease the situation. Bullying has not only ruined the lives of victims, but the bullies lives themselves as well. Students throughout the world are verbally and physically assaulted by their peers every day. At school, bullies rip their victim's self-esteem to shreds while the bully’s self-esteem is considerably higher. While bullying appears to be impossible to eliminate, progress can be made in the fight against bullies and bullying with the proper training and skills given to all parties involved.
This is definitely possible if parents step up and get involved, and also if students are taught how to identify bullying and/or bullies and quite possibly how to aide in stopping the action(s). Teachers also need to be properly trained on how to stand up for and support the victims and yet learn to deal with the bullies. These are all possible solutions that would most definitely aide in bringing the issue of bullying to its knees if not its demise. There are many ways that this ending result may be accomplished. Let’s look back at how it is defined and how it started many years ago.
